Never seen a dungeon like this in a game before. My favorite so far has to be the dolphin one and the Ascalon one. Have not really seen the other types yet but cant wait! The mini dungeons are gorgeous looking.
It is not a bug. The armor is suppose to look like its growing off your skin. However if you play a human character and preview it hat part will be completely dyed over. But since you are Sylvari your skin blends with you armor to look like you grew the armor off of your skin.
Umm I thought that they had just left in the Halloween soundeffects in Lions Arch. I hear crows squawking too, and the distance moans. Same if you go into the PvP mists area.
I know! I was happy that I got a bag thats specific for Halloween. Not to mention the Candy Corn and the rewards from the chest are pretty good for the dungeon. o3o I keep getitng dyes and greens+. Idk I just love the decorations and effort put into making LA and other areas looking spooky.
Honestly, never seen a gaming company put so much thought into one holiday! Just look at games like WoW, they have a few pumpkins thrown around here and there, and a repeatable dungeon that is just a rehashed version of the same thing. With Halloween in GW2, the environment changes, they added a whole new world, a new dungeon(Not rehashed), a storyline with the lunatic court, jumping puzzle, two minigames that are really fun! I dont see what people are complaining about, other than the BLC chests which I can understand. But this honestly has to be one of the coolest Halloween events I have ever played. Thank you Anet!
I always wondered what the Sylvari thought about Halloween. Would they be disgusted that so many pumpkins being gutted and carved up against the pumpkins will? (Assuming that they can feel emotions of other plants?) Whats your guy’s thoughts on Halloween and the Sylvari?
It actually didn’t take me to long, mmm about 30min or so. Had my dad help me out too, make sure that things were leveled the best we could. It was really fun to carve, and I hope come Halloween night when kids come trick or treating with their parents, some of the kids or parents will recognize it! o3o
In honor of Halloween in GW, I just had to carve the Mad King this year xD Loved the events in GW2! Might be a tad off from what he will look like in GW2, but who knows. o3o
I think for winters day it’ll be the Grenth side producing Grentches while the Dwayna side there will be producing snowman. You’ll probably pick up presents instead of pumpkins.
It was difficult, but felt very rewarding when I finished it. Even took screenshots too! I think the design of it was really fun, the Jumping Puzzles before hand around Tyria were slow and weren’t to difficult to figure out. This one took the cake! Not to mention its cool being chased upwards by that acid looking swirling cloud, vortex thing! Got my heart racing xD
The only thing that I don’t care for in this event is the fact that those skins are in the BLC boxes, if anything they should have made it purchasable or as an event prize (ToT bags). I don’t support random item generators, reminds me of Nexon to much.
Is it just me or does it seem like Nexon is slipping its grubby fingers into is game? I quit playing their games because the only way you could ever get good items was to spend 500$+ on a gachapon ( random item generator ). Trust me people did just to get one item. I love gw2, and I know Nexon owns a good portion of shares of anet, I just hope they don’t get any say but they probably do.
Im really excited, gonna wake up tomorrow before class just to see what the game looks like. I’ve played Halloween in GW1 and I have to say out of every game I’ve played they tend to do Halloween really well!
Hmm, thats a good question. I’m assuming by the Black Lion Chest is getting an upgrade that it wont be an entirely new box, heres to hoping that the old boxes will work after the update. <3
In Guild Wars 1 my main was a Mesmer, I loved their “illusion” background and how they are related to masquerade type themes(Their masks). Their clothing was also always pretty for the females, not so much for the males. Although in GW1 they had hexes that screwed over somebody, and they had to focus on whether they wanted to use that skill or not. Also the ability to shut people down and steal their skills was always fun. In guild wars 2 I loved them because of the purple butterfly effect their skill has. In gw1 they had one skill that did that, I think it was soothing images and I always wanted it to be like that for the rest of their skills. But I really like the confusing factor of them in GW2, I love being able to actually confound the enemy, and then shatter my illusions on them.
I’ve only played Nexon’s free to play games, such as Vindictus or Mabinogi. In both cases people ended up spending 500$ plus on a random item lottery thing to try and win armors and items. I’m glad GW2 didn’t go down this path, and I hope Nexon isn’t able to influence them. Hopefully the weapon skins are sellable or tradeable, that’d solve peoples problems with this random thing a little bit. But like I said, trading gold for gems isn’t a bad idea, albeit the price is shooting through the roof which is why I am stocking up. Plus I dont mind supporting the game company and spending a few dollars, since I’m not paying a monthly fee.
I’ve played too many F2P MMO’s with crappy lottery grab bag style of selling stuff. It’s horrible, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I would much rather just have the items listed for a static price. The gambling aspect only ticks people off.
I have played a lot of F2p MMO’s as well, and I agree that the lottery grab bag is awful in most cases. But so far in GW2 the chests have given me what I’ve wanted, and in all honesty their lottery grab bags are a lot better then other free mmo’s that you end up spending 100$+ just to try and get one item. I doubt Guild Wars 2 will be like that, because of what I just said. Especially since when I randomly bought dyes with GOLD, I got exactly the colors that I wanted. Another thing that Guild Wars 2 has that other free mmo’s dont have is a gold to gems prospect.
Ocean Mist would be beautiful to see. I’d wait till the Halloween event, by the video I think we’re getting some creepy fog and dark clouds. :O Not exactly what you suggested but close.o3o
What about those who are same sex couples. The ball room example you gave clearly indicates a male roll and a female roll. Just wondering what your idea would be on that?
I dont think if you miss an act that’d you’d be left out. I think it’ll be if you miss it then you get moved to the newest act, or they let you play through the acts that you missed.
Mt Hood is in Oregon. But everybody in the NW would know about Timberline Lodge, It is the largest “log cabin” in the world. Or at least it was at the time it was built.
Whooops thanks for the correction, didn’t notice I put that xD. Also there is a bridge in Timberline called Cascade Bridge, which could refer to the cascade mountains as well.
I like the fact that I don’t have to be forced into playing the typical hero character who chases after women. Its nice that they are finally including other sexual orientations into games.
So I decided to put up a buying offer for 2g on an item that I wanted. Thinking that I didn’t really need to get it until later I cancelled the buying price that I listed. The gold was never refunded to me, nor was it even in the TA pick up. I also removed some of the items from my listing, those were never returned as well. Anyone else having this problem?
I would love to see longer hairstyles of guys as well. I don’t believe we have any actual long hairstyles. But then again neither do the other races, humans I think have one long male hairstyle or so.
